  • always been a favorite. wow! just as good now as when i first heard it. how time has flown. thanks for putting it on.

  • @svo65- you're very welcome!

  • Thank you for a fabulous video! This was my favorite TDN song. I think the 70's had the best music of any decade. TDN, Zeppelin, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Jefferson Airplane, Fleetwood Mac, Aerosmith, Grand Funk Railroad, Yes, The Eagles, Marvin Gaye, Boz Skaggs, Derek & The Dominoes, CROSBY STILLS NASH & YOUNG, Queen, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Deep Purple, Creedence, Bill Withers, Janis Joplin, Elton John, The Doobies, The Cars, Steely Dan, Blue Oyster Cult & the list goes on & on. Thumbs up if u agree.

  • @catcando75 - you are very welcome!

  • @catcando75 They are not in the R & R H of F !!! You can't email them, they only accept letters. So get you keyboards or pens going & write why you think TDN should be on their walls!

  • Just lost two friends in a plane crash. This song fits my melancholy (sic?) mood.

  • Moving and poignant....hands down, one of their best....!!!!

  • Amazing song. Hard to believe how many great tunes that Paul Williams wrote. But Three Dog Night really made these songs come alive. Funny, this isn't one I remember hearing as a kid (I was born in '68), but I really like it now. One of my top 5 favorite TDN tunes (along with "One," "Shambala," "Old Fashioned Love Song," and maybe "Black and White").

  • I still hear my brother singing this and playing it on his guitar. He passed away in 2006 but the music lives on...

  • PEOPLE FORGET HOW POPULAR THREE DOG NIGHT WERE. IN THE 1970'S IN DETROIT THEY SOLD OUT PINE KNOB (OPEN AMPITHEATER CONCERT VENUE). EVERY TIME. THEY WERE ALSO GUEST PERFORMERS ON ALL THE POPULAR SHOWS OF THE TIME.

  • This song still gives me goosebumps... It's kind of perfect...

  • 5 people have never been "Out in the Country". How could you NOT like this song!

  • This was by far the VERY BEST song ever by Three Dog Night. Why it did not show up on their Greatest Hits Album is a mystery to me. The fact that they have not made it to The Rock and Roll HOF is another mystery. Three Dog Night and Chicago in my view were the best American Bands of the 70's and neither is in the HOF . This may be Rock and Roll Politics at it's worst!

  • I was still in high school (10TH grade) in Lumberport,WV. At the time,I was dating my first love...What memories. THANKS !!

  • ahhhh

  • ポール・ウィリアムスのグレイト・ソング!"アウト・イン­・ザ・カントリー"~私の最も好きなスリー・ドッグ・ナイ­トの名アレンジ・チューンだったナ!!

  • Wow. Major nostalgia rush. I can picture myself ten years old in my childhood hometown of Oakdale, California pedaling my bike around our street with my friends. Dad and older brother have passed, but not in this memory. We're all there in a beautiful dream (and the tears are streaming down my face). Those of us around in 1970 don't realize how lucky we were. Awesome time. Thank you for posting this.

  • @Jeffredo729 - you are very welcome!

  • @Jeffredo729 sure we do! :) A lot of us been cryin' those same tears, my friend.

  • I was out in the country once and a moose pissed on me. Fuck the country!!

  • @smokiebird06 omg...lol

  • Wow, wow memories of my childhood...........Thanks for posting this, really

  • @Tvalles100 - you're very welcome!

    

  • This was my FAVORITE song in 1970. I was living in Hollywood, FL and would sing it as I rode my bike to Johnson Street Beach. Whenever I hear it(and that's not very often), I can feel the sun on my face, smell the ocean and hear the seagulls calling....

  • i used to think paul williams was just the guy in the burt reynolds movies now i know better

  • Dude. This song is about what is going to happen to the world if we don't love our mother Earth and STOP polluting her. I cried hearing this song, because, really this is what's going to happen. Read the lyrics.

  • Thanks for posting this. Boy does it bring back memories of 1970 when I was in college. The music is wonderfully melodic and the lyrics beautiful, but with an undercurrent of reflective melancholy. Still has that power 42 years later. Remarkable that it has the ability to move me at 62 almost the same way it did when I was 20.

  • @Redhand1949 - you're very welcome!

  • @Redhand1949 thats quality isnt it?

  • 1970 i had 19 years old when i hear this song for the first time such a beautiful time bringing back good memories still love this song is one of my favorites

  • nice pictures, guy

  • Come here when you want to know how wonderful life is.

  • I too remember this song back in Kansas City on a cool fall grey September day in 1970. I was 17 listening to WHB radio 71. The Dj made a special intro about this song, I paid close attention to it and fell in love with. Three Dog Night appeared at a place called "The Attic in KC. TDJ are indeed some Kool blue eyed Soul Brothers and I don't think we'll ever get good decent music like this again. Thank you for posting this song.

  • @geegon50 - you're very welcome!

  • @geegon50 I was a freshman in college in Olathe in 1970 and remember WHB quite well. They used to put their Top 40 list in all the Head shops and music stores. I remember TDN was at Memorial Hall in the spring of 71 I think and I didn't have the $12 to go see them.

  • @AnthonyT50 Hey Anthony, I had just graduated from Central High in KC 1970 and yes WHB was a really cool station. I wished I had the money to see TDN too. This is off the record but I looked in the KC star Arcives, 1969 I believe and saw where Jimi Hendrix was appearing at the Municipal auditorium for only 5 dollars a ticket. How about that. Anyway, I wish I could have seen TDN with all the original members back then. Thanks for the message.

  • I ran to the record store and grabbed this 45 as soon as it hit the store. Still makes me feel good after all these years. Great song and thanks. Peace out!!!

  • @dajdooley - you're welcome!

  • This tune came out in the fall of 1970 when I was 14. Reminds me of starting high school that September. Not one of Three Dog Night's most popular songs, but definitely one of their best. Written by Paul Williams and Roger Nichols, who had another big hit in Fall 1970 with the Carpenters' version of their song "We've Only Just Begun"

  • Awesome

  • I've loved this song for the last 40 years. Simple, elegant and dreamy.

  • This is a damn tight song, cool, smooth, smart and pleasing to the soul. This song elevates me. Pretty good visuals on the vid too.

  • @abcbraveheart - thanks for watching! Ron

  • This song is so wonderful.

  • I loved this group as a kid, I was 9 when I first heard this in 1970, brings back old memories.....

  • A good friend died in a car wreck the night we were all sitting around listening to this, lt always makes me think of him. He died on October 22, 1971, Miss you John.

  • Yes, they rank at the top of the greatest of bands; and this....this is the best song of all time..........I get tears in my eyes everytime I hear it...so nostalgic of that time period.

  • This is one of the first 45's I bought!!!

  • Decided to have this play on my website. I am a landscape designer and can't think of anything more more fitting. Thanks for posting!!!!

  • @50lovey - you're very welcome!

  • That picture of Chuck is hot. The music is classic and live on forever.

  • I Love 3 Dog Night. One of the greatest bands ever!

  • One of the first tapes I ever bought. It still brings peace to me and one of my favorite groups all time.

  • ITS ONE THING TO WRITE WORDS ON A PAPER, BUT PUTTING IT TO AN ARRAGEMENT OF MUSIC IS CLASSIC

  • Such a mellow tune....

  • Besides Pieces of April THIS is one of my favorite Three Dog Night songs they ever recorded. When I heard it on their album originally back in the day, I fell in love with it!Still love it!!

  • Comment removed

  • superdupersupersongloveit.....­...

  • I was only 5 but to this day Three Dog Night is the Rock Band Ever!. Even if its light rock :)

  • great song, still sounds good after so many years.

  • how come this song was not #1

  • I woke up this morning with this song in my head. Thanks!

  • @Odysseyalien - you're welcome!

  • I was told three dog night were notorious perfectionists when recording, got that from an old interview, It seems to make a big difference when you listen, you can hear everything they wanted you to hear, nothing gets buried with them.......

  • I was out t walking just now and heard this song on an oldies station- made me cry the sense of nostalgia was so great...something about it.Your graphics are awesome too...

  • @OhSusannah63 - thank you for watching and commenting!  Ron

  • Gosh, this is a great song. And never was a very big hit. But right now, 40 years later, it sounds so soothing and calming (especially sitting here with a little rum in me, lol).

  • Excellent song with excellent video. Well done.

  • @80sMetallion- thanks for the kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Ron

  • My All-Time Favorite song by them.

  • always loved this classic.....thanks for making an excellent video to go with it

  • @MsJune54- you are very welcome!

  • @dulcinearospace- you're very welcome!

  • "Golden Biscuits" ALBUM (Memories!)

    

  • This is a Clasic from a great Rock Group of the 1970's Thanks for Posting it

  • @FredFrick16- you're very welcome!

  • I love 3 Dog Night's stuff and this song was not on their Greatest Hits. I can't imagine leaving this off, but they did. I think this may have been their best song although it was not a commercial success; it's my favorite!

  • @ctg00172how come if this song is beautifull

  • one of my favorite "three dog night" songs .......my graduation year 1970

  • @tejeffers1 , you are truly a wonderful person with great insight and empathy towards great music.

  • we got 3 city dwellers in our midst.... : (

  • What can you say?..WOW!..just wonderful..thanks.

  • @52maneat- you are very welcome!

  • @mustwinder- he did, he's a legend in his own mind!

  • Beautiful!

  • Got "Golden Biscuits" when it first came out! Luv TDN - Too bad they split up!

  • I agree...the R&R HOF has too many non R&R types in there....and some of the best.....still waiting to get in....

  • Thanks so much for posting this gorgeous song and its lyrics and the year it came out. 1970 was such a big year for me, music-wise. Even though I was only a tot (I was 9), I could spot a great song when I heard one!! (Rhyme included at no extra charge!!)

  • @LiddleBethy- you're very welcome!

  • @LiddleBethy It was a big year for me too - I was born then. Yippee!!! February 18. The last day of the Aquarius. I like this song, and I never knew who sang it. Peace to you.

  • Love this song !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I come back to watch these images and listen to this wonderful song again and again...........you put the whole thing together so very well and blended things beautifully....it captures drama and a mood......thank you so much for posting it!

  • @ourlighthouse9- you are very welcome! I'm glad you like the video so much! God Bless you, Ron

  • Al Gore sings this in the shower.

  • @rmtmiller- Al wrote this song after he invented the internet!

  • @rwells47 al gore started the beatles

  • so terrific............very nostalgic for me..........loved it then and love it now.

  • Listen to the execution of this song...ONLY THREE DOG NIGHT could make this happen (as windyazdesert already said). They had some freaking great music that never got airplay...and it's a damn shame. So talented, so under appreciated...

  • The most beautifully executed song there is... the hushed voices

    the synthesizer, guitar... ahhhhhh peace.

  • Man I love this song. I saw Chuck Negron perform about thee months ago and he still sings this song like it's 1970. Fantastic.

  • I was out in the country last week and a squirrel stole my nuts. FUCK being out in the country!!

  • Another great band who should be in the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame!

  • @Kenebutch how come they are not in the rock hall of fame

  • @55102 I don't know, ask the a**holes who decide who gets in, c'mon that untalented whore Madonna gets in before Alice Cooper, WTF!

  • Man, does this bring back some great memories of Junior High School! This song is truly a treasure from 3 Dog Night...thanks for sharing this feel good song...

  • @patmray1957 - you are very welcome!

  • @patmray1957 Hey man, you and me both! I was in 9th grade when this came out. They don't write or perform them like this anymore, do they?

  • beautiful, hevenly

  • I love your video, you captured the mood of the song perfectly. Thank you for sharing!

  • @psychopauly- you are very welcome! Thanks for the kind words! Ron

  • @rwells47 Hi, ive seen many peoples doing this. why are you not replying with the account that was used for uploading the video ? Im just curious :)

  • @goldatra3- I'm not sure what you mean. I am replying on the same account that I posted this video!

  • This song is so smooth....Bravo!!!!

  • All time classic! How come they never play this song on the radio?

  • I wonder hqw many peaple know Paul Williams wrote it! Kind of cool he did!!!

  • This song does more than bring back memories - in a sense, it 'creates' new ones...

  • I wish there was a live performance of this tune, and ONLY this tune, I could see. I really like this tune; It's so soothing. Oh well...

  • Amazing! We thought life was "too fast" in 1970. Remember, no cell phones, no computers, no CDs, no DVDs, no VCRs. Didn't know how good we had it. Thanks for posting - this song is something worth remembering!!

  • Beautiful!

  • Great Video, Great Song. Thanks for posting.

  • They killed this song when we saw them at Caesar's Tahoe 3 years

    ago..awesome show...Cory and Danny sounded great...

  • should of made it to #1..listen to the words..it is so true to get away from all the bullshit and hassels of everyday .....

    Peace

    Doc

  • Great song with goosebumps yeah I do love the country

  • One of my favorite groups from the 70s...this is my favorite 3 Dog tune.

    "Before the breathing air is gone. Before the sun is just a bright star in the night time!"

  • @Peoria3165  indeed!

  • it's amazing all the crap that is in the HOF and these guys are

    not? hahahhahahahhahahaha! go have another hit off the crack pipe those of you at the hall of shame that vote . Insanity rules!

  • I ALSO HAVE LOVED THIS SONG SINCE IT'S RELEASE. HAD HOPE BACK THEN BUT ALAS---CHOKE---CHOKE---GAG---O­ZONELESS ATMOSPHERE.

  • I'm favoriting your video of this very soothing song! Thanks for your great video!!

  • @SteveB801- you are very welcome! Ron

  • @rwells47 you got that right.

  • One of their many underrated song...a classic!

  • If 3 dog nite doesn't make thr rock HOF b4 I'm dead the people responsible for ignoring them are DEAD!!

  • heaven will be out in the country!

  • smooth classic tune! thanks for posting

  • i grew up in the time of three dog nights. the possibilities were endless then. those wonderful days with this great music!

  • This was one of my favorites! A very subtle song for Three Dog Night, but wonderfully crafted...and I agree with the earlier comment about the Hammond organ, too! Mellow, tuneful, just a good song with such a good feeling! (nota bene: misheard lyrics: when I was 13, I thought they said "whenever I need to leave the law behind"

  • i should have been the forest ranger like i wanted to - 40 years later i realize my mistake for not going with my first thought - always listen to that little voice in your head - its right most of the time

  • This song came out when I was about ten years old. I used to love Three Dog Night and still do!. Awesome group! Great memories!

  • Great song - it says it all!

  • Thanks for posting this awesome song.

  • @GoldenTouch007 - you are very welcome!

  • wonderful photos...+effects

  • @sweethippy67-thanks I'm glad you like it!

  • love this song... when i go to BIG SUR, i play this in my car...

  • Thank you for making me FEEL again. I shut down due to the reality of the world at this time.  That is not healthy. Thank you for reminding me to breath in while I can.

  • @lrinax- you're welcome! God Bless you,  Ron

  • Love the group and particularly love this song thank you.

  • @TheOldpoop- you are very welcome!

  • The very talented Paul Williams wrote this song (he eventually wrote another song that  Three Dog Night eventually went on to do was "Just An Old Fashioned Love Song" in which Paul also recorded too which lead onto futher success down the road with songs penned for television and motion pictures like The Boy In The Plastic Bubble**(**What Would They Say) also 1979's The Muppet Movie ( The Rainbow Connection and other songs)

  • You did a really nice job with this video and you put it together with my favorite 3 Dog Night song. Thank you . Things have been pretty tough recently and I sure needed this. Thanks again.

  • @smokiebird06- you're very welcome! I hope things get better for you. Life can be tough at times. God Bless you, Ron

  • Def a happy song :)

  • This song is more true than ever -- with the busyness of the 21st century....

  • TDN's finest moment. Sincere thanks for posting.

  • @myszek46- you're very welcome! Ron

  • Senior year 1975...........the 70's was a great time to be a TDN fan. I always thought they did not get the attention they deserved. But in there own way they made a lot of us 70's rockers happy. Still making me happy, thanks for the memory post!

  • @hotstuffandicecream- you are welcome!

  • @hotstuffandicecream If a classic, rock band of this caliber does not receive the accolades that it deserves, and smutty-talk bands do receive undeserved praise, that only proves one thing: "Lots of people have poor taste in music." Long live TDN. I saw TDN in concert in late 1983, and then again this past January.

    Love this tune.

  • This was one of their best.

  • @RoyFive Surprised it only got to 15# on the charts.

  • Yeah...why aren't these guys in the rock n roll hall of fame? What a disgrace!!!

  • I don't know of any instrument that can make the hair stand up on the back of your neck like this Hammond organ. The key is knowing when to let it float or give it the gas. This song does all that. Man this song is awesome after all these years. Thanks for making this!

  • @MrMotoden - you are very welcome!  Ron

  • @MrMotoden I was just thinking about saying this and then i read your post....Right on the money!!!

  • @MrMotoden For sure. Even Eddie Van Halen said he was happy "Sammy plays an Axe" so he could do some keyboard playing. wow.

  • MY FAVORITE3 DOG SONG..UNFORTUNATLY IT DOESN'T TRANSLATE WELL WHEN I HEAR THEM PLAY IT LIVE IN CONCERT...MUST NEED A STUDIO

  • This is a cool video and great song by one of the best bands ever!!!

  • first hearing this.. both the music and vid are excellent..

  • @1959child- thanks for the kind words! Ron

  • I love this song. It takes me back to when I was 6 and going to the campground 70 miles outside the city and this song would be playing on the radio in the car around 1971. Great job with the video too, I come here to listen and watch it when I want to hear this gem.Thank you for sharing !

  • @LIFESEXDEATH- you are very welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it! God Bless, Ron
